Possible OUTS:
Laycock(Spud)
Micheal(?)
Jetta(wont be dropped just wasn't that good today)
Reimers(hamstring?)
Rama(A week or two at VFL?)

Possible INS:

Jason Johnson(unlikely)
Dempsey(another week at VFL I'd say)
Scott Lucas(if knee is right)
Bellchambers(for Laycock)
John Williams
Cale Hooker
Tom Hislop
Rhys Magin
Heath Hocking

For mine:

IN: Will wait for Bendigo(if they're playing this week)

OUT: Rama, Reimers(if injured)

Laycock will stay I think.
 
It would be a shame if Reimers had to miss a lot, a doubt JJ will ever play 1st's again for us, maybe a fairwell match, and as for Jetta he is a player who either is sensational or very quite so we have to be patient.

for me

ins: dempsey, lucas
outs: rama, reimers

reimers will be out for 2 to 3 weeks source MMM

dempsey can take rama's spot in the side i think, after this week he should be fit enough to play... another week in the vfl would probably be ideal though so maybe rama will keep hisspot

i didnt think jetta was that bad, he was around the ball and put on a fair bit of pressure.

yes he only touched it 6 times and only kicked the 1 goal but it was just one ofthose days where you are just that bit off.. there was around 10 times where he got the ball but was tackled just before he got away, if he had a bit of luck he would have gotten away on a few of those and set up/kicked a couple himself

For me Jetta didnt work had enough. Bartram did a great job on him and I can only count a handful of times Jetta tried to break his close checking. He just jogged around far too much and thats why he was often 5m to slow to contests. Yes his defensive pressure was good, but we need him to get it as well.

I think its time to give him a week in the reserves and just let him go on the ball and find it. Then again playing in perth might bring the best out of him again.
 
no point changing a winning lineup too much. sure jetta was quiet but not much to gain by dropping him for a rookie, laycock was average but he will be needed against cox/seaby, rama average again but can hold his spot until dempsey is ready.

reimers hamstring looked like a 3 weeker so he's definitely out.

with any luck lucas may come up next week with just the one change.

the likes of dempsey, hislop, hocking need more conditioning or they'll break down again at the faster tempo.

if lucas doesn't come up then it opens it up for the likes of magin, williams, hooker and daniher.

wasn't a great win but its hard to stay up for so long given they've been pretty good for about 7 weeks now.
 
How far away is McVeigh?

Out: Rama (harsh call here but his form has been shocking)

In: Lucas (providing he's over that back injury)
 
Please stop calling for Laycock to get dropped:cool:
What is Bellchambers going to offer us that he isn't?

Still with a chance of finals, why are we going to ditch a winning formula?
Bellchambers is not ready, and as a result Hille would have to ruck just about the whole game.

I would have Dempsey, if ready, for Reimers. Im not convinced Lucas should be rushed back, although he does like West Coast as Subi;)
 
IN: Dempsey, Lucas.
OUT: Rama, Reimers.(If. Inj.)

Laycocks useless but we dont have much of a choice. Bellchambers is a definite no, simply because he'll make pretty much less of an impact than laycock would. I'm not underrating the guy, he's just not ready...

OUT: Reimers

IN: Dempsey

Unsure about Lucas' availability. If fit no doubt he will come back into the team. Dyson would want to be playing well for the next few matches....

EDIT: Ramanauskas would be a real chance to drop back to the reserves. Perhaps Hocking might get a run.
 
I would go with

In: Dempsey, Hooker, Lucas (if fit)
Out: Riemers, Rama, Micheal

Micheal has been serviceable but un disciplined actions against Melbourne and Hookers form over the past 2 months should be enough to see the swap happen, also the fact WC don't have any notable strong key fowards for Micheal to match up on.
 
Ins: Dempsey, Hocking, Lucas
Outs: Reimers(inj), Rama, Michael


We need to get more run at Subi so Dempsey is a must. 2 games at VFL level is just enough me thinks.

Hocking for Rama as Rama seems to be running on the spot at the moment.

Lucas for Mal in he's fit.

We need to rest our guns ie lloyd and lucas for finals.
I agree. Fletcher looks a tad weary and having a fit and fresh Fletcher come finals time would really help our chances to win our 17th flag. Not sure about resting Lloyd after such a stunning game. Your thoughts?
